Oh wow, where do I begin? I had a wonderful time at the Barn House Flea Market over the weekend! I’ll be doing a series about organizing with found items, but for now here’s some highlights of the event.
Krista Colvin, my BlogTalkRadio show co-host invited myself and a couple of her friends to come along to this even. Boy, I am sure glad you did, sistah! Krista was a judge in the sweets bake off and I was judging the chili cook-off. Yum! This candid shot is the judges getting their plates. Krista is on the right and Tracey Buxton of Notes from A Cottage Industry is on the left.
This is what they were judging, the poor things. (Tracey posted some gorgeous shots of the full desserts here.)
We did a little shopping (more on that later) and then it was time for the chili cook-off:
There were some great entires including ingredients like chocolate and smoked pork. Yum! I was really asking one of the Barn House Boys about his secret here…. It was delicious and even went back for seconds!
I also got a quick shot with Tracey since she was headed back out of town. It was so great to meet her!
After all that food, fun and shopping we were lucky enough to get a private tour of the house on the property. Krista and I have decided that we’d like to be boarders! This is a the entrance to the garden…
I love this idea of using a large wardrobe with baskets and fun accessories in side. This is the bathroom, don’t you love it? I could curl up in that chair and read for hours…
The living room was also to die for, such a warm and welcoming space without being fussy. Love that!
Best of all? I walked away with some great stuff like this fabulously stylish chair and the vintage phone dial below from the sale! The chair is going right in the corner of my office in my soon-to-be coffee/reading area in my home office. I am totally in LOVE with it and plan to reupholster it at a later date…. or not. :) (Thanks Lynne!)
Seriously, how cute is this phone dial? Queen of Tarte had it in her booth, and had some great ideas about using it as an ornament. I even thought I might be able to use it as a photo frame. Fun!
I for one can’t wait for the next Barn Sale in August!
